Chapter 39: The Change of Yecheng (Part II)

As a big political family with a dazzling aura of the fourth and third dukes, the Yuan family is known as a protΓ©gΓ© and former officials all over the world, and to a large extent, it controls the discourse power of local government affairs in the Han Dynasty, and it is definitely the leading famous family in the Han Dynasty.

If you can become the helmsman of the Yuan family, it means that you will have extremely rich network resources and political resources, and in this era of chaos, it will have a fatal attraction for anyone who has eyes and opportunities.

But becoming the master of this big family is not so easy. What is needed is not only a name, but more importantly, the recognition of the internal forces of the Yuan family. is like Yuan Shu, although he has always admitted that he is the son of the Yuan family, and he does not look down on Yuan Shao, the eldest son, but he has to be wronged under the aura of Yuan Shao, who was chosen by the Yuan family's forces.

And Yuan Shao has three sons, the eldest son Yuan Tan, surnamed Strong, brave and good at fighting, very much loved by Yuan Shao's military generals, this time Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan war, he served by Yuan Shao's side, and repeatedly made military exploits.

The second son, Yuan Xi, is handsome and elegant, suave and graceful, both civil and military, and is very favored by the Yuan clan, and the big and small families close to the Yuan family are also hot, this time Yuan Shao fought in the front, Yuan Xi appeased the big clans in the city with the assistance of Su Cheng, and ensured that Yuan Shao's grain road was unblocked, which also made Yuan Shao quite satisfied.

Only Yuan Shang, who is young and has no achievements, under the aura of two brothers who are very good in comparison, although he is very favored by Yuan Shao and Liu, it is not easy to get ahead and be recognized by all forces of the Yuan family. Now that Yuan Shao is still alive, the military and the family have been preempted by the two elder brothers, and have become the spokesmen of two of the three major interest groups in the Yuan family, how can Yuan Shang, who also has the qualifications for the helm of the Yuan family, not be in a hurry?

Therefore, how could Yuan Shang not be overjoyed when he heard Qin Xu's fake transmission of Xu Yu's "kindness". In Yuan Shang's thinking, the military and the family have been divided between the two elder brothers, and only the remaining faction of officials loyal to Yuan Shao seems to want to mix in too early, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi have worked hard to make these people make a clear statement.

And now, as one of Yuan Shao's four great strategists, Yuan Shao's friend in distress, Xu You, a very iron buddy, opened his mouth, although he didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was very obvious to support himself, which made Yuan Shang, who was only fifteen years old, how could he sit still.

Father Yuan Shao is a person that Yuan Shang admires very much, and when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil and hundreds of officials lost his voice, Yuan Shao was the only one who scolded Dong Zhuo for going to the Bohai Sea; When the princes met to discuss Dong, Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the alliance by the princes of the eighteen roads in the world, what a glory is this? And all this was obtained in Yuan Shao's position as the speaker of the Yuan family, and now that he is closer to this step, how can he not make Yuan Shang excited.

"Third son, someone outside the door claimed to be a subordinate official of Hanoi Taishou Mansion on behalf of Zhang Taishou to come to pay homage to the third prince." When the servant handed the big red prayer note to Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang was still as if he was in a dream.

"It's coming, it's really coming?" Yuan Shang had already chosen to believe in Qin Xu's identity because of Xu Yu's whereabouts, and now that Qin Xu came to visit so soon, Yuan Shang was even more convinced, and hurriedly said: "Please come to the guest room and take a seat, well, don't report to Mrs. for the time being." ”

It was also Qin Xu's luck that was so good that Yuan Shang wanted to explain the situation at the city gate to his mother Liu when he came back, but when he arrived at the mansion, he hesitated, afraid that his mother Liu, who had been saying that he was too frivolous and impatient, would reprimand him again, and did not inform Liu.

Liu is Yuan Shao's wife and Yuan Shang's biological mother, and she has been working hard for Yuan Shang's ascension. But there are Yuan Shang's two elder brothers, and Yuan Shangping is not very good, so it is inevitable to be strict with Yuan Shang. So much so that Yuan Shang didn't dare to inform the Liu family about this matter after thinking about it for a long time before he was sure of Xu You's true meaning.

As for Qin Xu's pretending to be a subordinate official in Zhang Yang's Mansion to visit, Yuan Shang took it for granted that this was Xu You's meaning, and he was even more sure that Xu You wanted to burn a cold stove before he completely surfaced in Yuan's water, but he didn't want to leave any handles. This is completely in line with the surname of Xu Yu that Yuan Shang knew. At this time, what made Yuan Shang entangled was that he should have a better attitude towards Qin Xu, who had a "special mission"? Or is it a point of majesty?

Qin Xu, who is known as Qin Jiu, was finally warmly received by Yuan Shang, the third son of the Yuan family, and the two sides put forward their own demands in a friendly and enthusiastic atmosphere.

Yuan Sangongzi highly praised Xu You's conscientious efforts for the future and development of the Yuan family, and on behalf of his father Yuan Shao and the vast number of defenders who were sticking to Yecheng, he expressed his heartfelt praise for Xu You's single trip to Hanoi to negotiate with Taishou Zhang Yang to send troops. said that until now, he has not received any news that the Black Mountain thieves are further approaching Yecheng, and Yuan Shao, who is rushing back to help, has won valuable time, precisely because the efforts made by Xu You, one of the four great strategists in Jizhou, have achieved initial results. When Yuan Shao fought back against Montenegro, Xu Yougong retreated and returned to Yecheng, Yuan Shang would show Yuan Shao to personally go out of the city to greet Yunyun.

As for Qin Xu, who had made it up before he came, why he didn't bring anything that could prove Xu You's identity, he didn't have time to say it, and he was brought over by Yuan Shang's blazing eyes that I understand, I understand.

Yuan Shang's enthusiasm and the super aura of infinite automatic brain replenishment, Qin Xu was dumbfounded, and sincerely expressed his admiration, and repeatedly praised Yuan Shang's "far-sightedness", at the end of the talks, Qin Xu vaguely proposed that Xu You was seeking the marriage of the flying general Lu Bu for Yuan Shang, so that Yuan Shang no longer had the slightest doubt about Qin Xu, and even raised the idea of taking Qin Jiu, a subordinate official of the Hanoi Taishou Mansion who could be "trusted" by Xu You, to his own use.

"Third son, that Lu Bu lion opened his mouth, and he was a little dissatisfied with the dowry prepared by the lord for the third son." Qin Xu saw that Yuan Shang had completely entered the middle of the court, and pretended to be embarrassed and said to Yuan Shang.

"I heard that Lu Bu's surname is very unruly, why did he agree to Mr. Xu's proposal so happily?" Yuan Shang doubted. It's just the surprise and self-congruence in his eyes, and he didn't escape the eyes of Qin Xu, who had practiced the ability to observe words and emotions after a long time of business negotiations in his previous life.

"Childe, that's 20,000 stone military rations and 2,000 war horses!" Qin Xu kept smearing Boss Lu with a clear conscience, and said: "Lu Bu fled from Chang'an in a panic, and there is not one soldier in a hundred, and because he was the son of Dong Zhuoyi, although Dong Zhuo is the right son, although Dong is meritorious, but the world does not tolerate it, it is easy for Yuan Gong to ignore his past suspicions, and he is to fund grain and grass, and he is married to his children, how can he not be grateful to Dade?" ”

"Then why did he ......" Although Yuan Shang was overjoyed, he was confused by Qin Xu and asked puzzledly.

"Lu Bu has a very good personal relationship with my father-in-law, Zhang Taishou, and is quite favored by the lord in Hanoi, but the third prince also knows that Lu Buwei's name is unique in the world, and he is naturally a person with a good face, and he is always funded by my father-in-law, this ......" Qin Xu replied.

"Hmm! It is extremely extreme, and Lu Bushi's tiger will naturally not be like this for a long time. Yuan Shang looked in agreement, nodded and said, "Then I don't know what Mr. Ziyuan taught me?" ”

"This is the bait? It's so unfulfilling. Qin Xu said secretly in his heart, but there was a mysterious look on his face, and said: "There are a large number of black mountain thieves, and it is quite difficult for my family Zhang Taishou alone, Mr. Xu's intentions, if there is Lu Bu's help, it will not be a problem to just Montenegro." ”

"I know this, isn't Mr. Ziyuan already kissing my Yuan family like Lu Buti?" A trace of pride flashed on Yuan Shang's face, and he suddenly said, "Then Lu Bu dislikes the lack of dowry?" It is rumored in the world that Lu Bu is greedy for money, and there are many greedy people under his command, which is indeed true. But my father is at war with Gongsun and the old thief, and the military food is also tight, I don't know what Mr. Ziyuan can do? ”

"Nnd! You're the one who is the one who is greedy!" Qin Xu scolded secretly in his heart, and suffered a secret loss for no reason, but he still said with a strong face: "That's true, Mr. Xu also understands that the grain storage in Yecheng is the foundation of Yuan Gong's war against Gongsun, and the grain stored in the river can also be delivered, but Lu Bu is a person with an excellent face, and he has never had any scruples, if this matter spreads, saying that Yuan Gong is not hired, it will inevitably ...... Yuan Gong's reputation."

"Humph!" Yuan Shang's face was full of anger, and he said: "This Lu Bute is also evil, does he have to send troops to solve the matter of Yecheng?" ”

"Don't disturb the third son!" Qin Xu said: "The reason why Mr. Xu didn't reject Lu Bu in the world is also for the sake of the third son." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yuan Shang was confused by Qin Xu's wandering, and said: "Mr. Ziyuan is a scholar and a man of incomparable resourcefulness, you just need to tell me what he intended originally." Needless to say. ”

"No!" A smile hid at the corner of Qin Xu's mouth, and said: "Mr. Xu said, if you create a momentum, send three or five hundred soldiers, and transport some military rations over, and make the first batch to coax Lu Bu to send troops, and the rest can be discussed slowly." What does the third prince think? ”

"This ......" Yuan Shang didn't expect Qin Xu to say this, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Qin, Mr. Ziyuan's plan is naturally wonderful, but Yecheng is like a city with few soldiers, if you send another three or five hundred, then ......"

"Woo ......" Qin Xu also looked worried about Yuan Shang, and pondered for a long time and said: "Actually, if Mr. Xu's intention is not like this, it is really difficult to make Lu Bu believe in Yuan Gong's sincerity, anyway, it is just for show, and there is not a lot of grain and grass, so how about sending some farmers and miscellaneous servants as soldiers?" What's more, if there is a real war, these people will have no other use than to reduce morale. ”

"It's just ......" Yuan Shang was dizzy by Qin Xu's flickering, but he still felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.

"The third prince also knows that Lu Bu is the first fierce general in the world, and there is only one daughter, if he becomes the father-in-law of the third prince, he will be reused by Yuan Gong, and when the time comes, he will ......" Qin Xu saw that Yuan Shang was still hesitant, and Suo added a fire to him, not believing that Yuan Shang could not understand this kind of benefit.

"Good! Without further ado, when I show my mother, I will do it immediately. Yuan Shang listened to Qin Xu talk about Yuan Shao's reuse, and suddenly remembered the prestige of his eldest brother Yuan Tan in the army, if Lu Bu joined in the future, he could replace him, and he was very happy in his heart, and even looked at Qin Xu more and more pleasing to the eye, and said: "Lord Qin is really a loyal and resourceful person, if it is not good in Zhang Taishou's place, you can come to my account at any time." ”

"Thank you for your love!" Qin Xu thanked Yuan Shang with a grateful look, and then made a look of suddenly remembering something, and said: "It's just that Mr. Xu also explained, don't talk about the relationship between the two of you for the time being, too many people will know, so as not to ......"

"Oh?" After hearing Qin Xu's words, Yuan Shang's brows froze, and he said to himself: "Mr. Xu is still the surname who has to keep his hands behind in everything, are you afraid that others will accidentally say it after they find out?" ”

"Qin Jiu!" Yuan Shang pondered for a long time, raised his head and said to Qin Xu, who was waiting on the side: "Since Mr. Xu can send you to meet me, you must be someone Ziyuan believes in, in this case, Mrs. Zhang's family will stay in Yecheng temporarily, and I will send ten guards to take care of it, and you will take three hundred soldiers to send three hundred stones of grain and grass to Hanoi!" ”

"No!" Qin Xu looked loyal and said, "It's just that Miss Zhang has a bad temper, and I ask the prince to be more forgiving." lest I be scolded by Mrs. Zhang! ”

"Seeing that you are the same age as me, why are you still afraid of a woman? Well, you've got that done, come under my command. Yuan Shangzhi was satisfied, looked like a great favor, and said to Qin Xu, "As for this Miss Zhang, since she is Mrs. Zhang's relatives chosen by Mr. Ziyuan, she is like my sister, so I will persuade him not to embarrass you, you can rest assured!" ”

……

I haven't heard that Yuan Shang is lustful! The meaning of these words, how does it sound like the idea of hitting "Miss Zhang"?

This is death! I hope that Lu Lingqi's girl won't be too ruthless.
